- I want this device for the keyboard and the touch screen for the browser. I find the 9650/9700 keys impossible to type on quickly and accurately. The last BB I could type on well was the 7250. I don’t stream movies or any of that **** so the rest is overkill for me. I am a HEAVY text/emailer so as long as it does not freeze up or ghost and the keys are similar to the 9000 its gonna be sweetness. If the release date leaks say August - doesn’t this mean December in RIM months???02-03-11 03:12 PMLike 0
- Wow, the complains of the lack of LTE
Honestly, I don't want LTE due to the battery drained in like an hour
Along with front facing camera
GET OVER IT
It is super old technology that people barely realized exsist.
And yes I Can Wait for this phone.

No one. So why do people demand it in their phones?
You probably saw a commercial about how fast it should be, but guess what?
They didn't tell you, by having LTE radio set, the phone must be bigger. Period.
It will drain the battery faster. Period.
And most cities won't have it. Period.
Its like Sprints Wimax technology. Its great, if you have it. But is if you dont, is it really worth being slightly faster (to do what exactly) for all that bulk and losing so much battery?
If you hear 4G speeds being amazing, thats cool because in theory they are. But once the whole country gets up to HSPA+ no one will complain.
And once everyone is hogging bandwidth on 4G, its not going to seem instantaneous as it does now.02-03-11 07:37 PMLike 0 - The main issue with LTE/WiMax is that people are going to be signing up for a new 2 year contract at the point when they get their new phone, so they are wanting to try and do a little bit of future-proofing in their purchase.
Personally, I would rather get a device that is really good for now because if the past shows us anything, the first chipsets for a new technology are simply not going to be as good as later ones and if you found you had a need for 4g later then it would probably be better just to eat the extra cost of an early upgrade since the newer 4g phone is going to tend to be a lot better anyway.02-04-11 08:49 AMLike 0 - sleepngbearRetired Moderator
I'm very much looking forward to this phone. I love the Torch, but it's starting to wobble again. I loved my 9000 and only parted with it for the browser and bigger screen (then got addicted to the touch screen in the process). The Bold Touch looks to have all the power and features I'll ever need. If it's built anyything like the 9000, it should be a very successful model for RIM.

- Is there anything more you can share? Are the leaked specs accurate? Will it be released on Tmobile? Any idea when it will arrive on GSM carriers in the US?02-04-11 04:42 PMLike 0

Think what you will, you have nothing to take from what I've said but MY NAME....02-07-11 12:01 PMLike 0 -
You said you played with the phone. At least give us your impressions. How is it to type on? Does the touch screen really add that much functionality? How does it feel in the hand? Was it still really full of bugs, or is it almost ready for prime-time?
I don't think it is unreasonable to ask you this, since of your own accord, you stated you have knowledge on the Bold Touch.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com02-07-11 01:05 PMLike 0 - You have implied plenty? About the name of the device? I don't understand. If you want cred, then throw us a bone.

That's the only thing I think could steer me away from the Bold Touch, or whatever it ends up being called. ;-)
